But the RCC didn’t exist until after 300AD.

Not to worry. Never mind that little detail that Jesus never said that He was establishing the ROMAN CATHOLIC church and that almost the whole history of the Catholic church bears little resemblance to the NT church in the book of Acts.

That won't let it stop them from making something up to fill in the blanks with.

Well, the typical Baptist Church little resembles the New Testament Church. That is to say, that the Jews who made up the Church in Jerusalem would feel totally out of place in such a congrehation, because they belonged to a radically different culture. Fact is that the New Testament is little concerned about describing their congregational life. Recall that the Apostles continued to worship at the temple. Probably their relationship with other Jews was a bit like that of John Wesley and the Church of England. After all, they converted many priests. Superficially they would be just another Jewish sect, except more truculent.
